Termination

Bai Yun’s delicate hands waved one after another.

The sharp shadows of the whip overlapped, leaving afterimages in the air.

It was clear that Bai Yun did not stop just because her attack was blocked.

According to Lily’s testimony, Eve had stayed behind to cover her retreat.

The style of the tattered clothes before her was enough to prove that Eve had once left her mark here.

Since the four vampires were dead and the remaining Eve was nowhere to be found, the culprit had to be the vampire with royal blood before her.

“Give me back my student’s life!”

The magic essence on Bai Yun’s body gradually showed signs of burning.

The speed of the whip shadows attacking Eve became even faster.

With the naked eye, one could only see a blurry afterimage.

She had only one thought now: to kill the vampire before her and avenge Eve.

As for the matter of investigating the vampires’ intention to attack the border city, she had already cast it to the back of her mind.

Faced with Bai Yun’s continuous attacks, Eve, who had just experienced it firsthand, did not dare to easily take it head-on.

Relying on her own speed, she dodged in the air.

During this time, several whip shadows, carrying the force of a cutting wind, grazed past her dress.

If it weren’t for the fact that the long dress she wore was a magical item of considerable quality, Eve’s dress would have been torn to shreds by now.

To turn the tables and no longer dodge, Eve held the crimson Other Shore horizontally in front of her waist.

She swept it forward, breaking through the pursuing whip shadows, and with it, sent out a scythe’s gleam.

This cleared a large buffer zone for Eve, buying her a moment to catch her breath.

In terms of pure strength, warriors indeed had an advantage over ordinary vampires.

What’s more, Bai Yun had been a Sequence Five for longer than her and had a deeper understanding.

Even Eve did not dare to take her on directly.

Fortunately, the force of the pursuing whip shadows had already been mostly dissipated when Bai Yun manipulated them to turn.

Otherwise, Eve would not have been able to break through with force using only Other Shore.

After the whip shadows were broken by Eve, Bai Yun quickly retreated, wanting to avoid its sharp edge.

She found the rooftop of a tall, ruined building to land on, preparing to take the giant scythe’s attack head-on.

She was not a Sequence Six and could not walk on air.

After hovering in the air for a while, she still needed to land to borrow force.

But as it turned out, the scythe’s gleam was still several meters away from her when it disappeared into thin air, as if it had exhausted all its power.

At this moment, only a dozen meters separated the two of them in their exchange.

Eve was in the air, while Bai Yun stood on the rooftop.

A distance of a dozen meters was not far for the two of them.

Whether it was Eve or Bai Yun, they only needed to drive the magic essence in their bodies, and this distance could be covered in the blink of an eye.

Eve had not forgotten that besides Bai Yun, there were also some bodyguards hired by others here.

Once she was surrounded and wanted to leave, she would need to spend a little more effort.

‘The goal of letting Bai Yun witness my “death” has been achieved.’

‘At that time, Su Ran will be able to receive my pension. Although the money may not be much, it has the advantage of being long-term.’

‘In addition, with the care of the Human Federation, it is enough for Su Ran to live a stable life after he recovers.’

Eve’s entire plan was flawless.

The only thing that made her feel guilty was the Teacher Bai Yun before her.

Bai Yun, standing on the rooftop, was still in a state of burning magic essence.

Eve could feel Teacher Bai’s affection for her, and the care she had invested in her.

This life-for-a-life posture… Eve saw it in her eyes and felt the pain in her heart.

Therefore, she only used Other Shore in her hands as much as possible for defense, to prevent Bai Yun from burning more magic essence for defense and ultimately harming her foundation.

“Stop! Human, I didn’t see any other humans when I came here, only vampires who had offended the dignity of the royal family.”

Standing in the air, Eve forcibly suppressed her guilt towards Bai Yun and said coldly.

Hearing Eve’s words, Bai Yun’s first thought was disbelief.

Even the burning magic essence on her body was affected and stagnated for a moment.

Normally, with the arrogant nature of vampires, they would be unwilling to explain any misunderstandings and would basically maintain a “fight if you want to fight” attitude, let alone a vampire with royal blood like the one before her.

Bai Yun had not expected that the other party would actually open her mouth to explain and clarify the misunderstanding.

She thought it was the other party’s delaying tactic.

Seeing that Bai Yun did not speak, Eve continued, “I disdain to lie. The purpose of my coming here was only to find the vampires who violated their orders. I can feel the weak auras of many humans here. I believe you understand my meaning.”

Eve understood that with Teacher Bai’s temperament, just reasoning would not be enough to make her stop.

Only by truly making her hesitant to act for fear of collateral damage was the best solution.

And the trump card Eve held was precisely the students who were training in Changhong City.

Even if they had bodyguards, if the Sequence Five Eve were to act, they still wouldn’t have much of a way to prevent casualties.

Sure enough, upon hearing Eve mention the students in Changhong City, the expression on Bai Yun’s face changed.

‘The other party is using the students to threaten her.’

This was a threat Bai Yun could not ignore.

This was not a real battlefield, and these students were not real soldiers.

Bai Yun could not abandon the lives of her students just to kill a vampire of royal blood.

If she did that, the school she was in would face immense pressure from the parents.

Of course, if Bai Yun knew the identity of the vampire before her, she might have really fought with her life to keep her there.

However, the burning magic essence on Bai Yun’s body now slowly extinguished.

She had taken Eve’s words to heart.

“I can stop, but vampire, you have to tell me what you saw after you arrived. My student couldn’t have been killed so easily by a Sequence Three vampire.”

Even if she stopped, Bai Yun did not intend to give up on getting information from the other party.

She hoped to find Eve, the student she held in high regard.

“…”

Faced with Bai Yun’s question, Eve was unusually silent.

She knew that Teacher Bai did not intend to give up on her.

Just as Bai Yun thought the other party was unwilling to answer, the vampire before her spoke, “When I came, I saw blood-stained clothes, a pool of blood, and vampires. As for anything else, there was nothing. Also, among those offending sinners, one had already reached Sequence Four, but had just used a special vampire secret method to conceal the fluctuations.”

After Eve finished speaking, she left from the sky.

In the last moment before she turned around, she saw Bai Yun, like a puppet with its strings cut, collapse onto the ground with vacant eyes.

She did not want to give Bai an ounce of false hope.

Only by establishing Eve’s death and cutting off the hope in Bai Yun’s heart could Su Ran be safe.

Then, in less than half an hour, a signal flare symbolizing the end of the trial appeared in the sky above Changhong City.

A large number of students set off on the road back to the assembly point, most of their faces filled with confusion about the termination of the trial.

Bai Yun, walking at the forefront, had dim eyes, but her face showed no emotional fluctuations.

Only Lily, by her side, was constantly shedding tears, her heart-wrenching cries causing the others to cast sympathetic glances her way.

They had lost a classmate in this trial, and Lily had lost a friend.

The cruelty of the war between humans and vampires… this time, they had experienced it firsthand.
